1 Prior Learning Assessment at Thomas Edison State College Kansas Board of Regents Presentation February 25, 2014 Marc P. Singer Vice Provost, Center for the Assessment of Learning Thomas Edison State College Trenton, NJ
2 Background Thomas Edison State College founded 1972 Public institution intended to provide assessment, degree completion to NJ adults, other state colleges
3 Serving Our Students Prior Learning Assessment: TECEP: credit-by-exam Portfolio development and evaluation Office for Assessment of Professional and Workplace Learning: academic review of training programs, licenses, certificates College accepts most other sources of college credit: CLEP, ACE, NCCRS, Excelsior, StraighterLine Initially, TESC did not offer courses
4 Prior Learning Assessment at Thomas Edison State College Focuses on adult and non-traditional students: assumes that they have brought something with them to the College Embraces all forms of external, college-level learning Emphasis on Learning Outcomes Includes multiple methods of assessment of prior learning: testing, portfolio, review of training and certificate programs Begins with a course sequence that explains PLA to students, and then guides them through the process of documenting their prior learning
5 PLA at Thomas Edison State College Both traditional and non-traditional students can be served by good PLA policies PLA policies and advising help students persist and complete degrees. Acknowledgment of what students learn outside of college helps create better alignment with workforce development needs.
6 PLA-100 and PLA-200 PLA-100: Intro to Prior Learning Assessment 1-credit, 4-week course focused on exposing students to ways of earning credit for what they already know Topics covered include: What is college-level learning, and do I have any? What are learning outcomes? Bloom s taxonomy and other models PLA-200: Intro to Portfolio Development 2-credit, 8-week course focused on developing a portfolio Topics include articulation of goals, documentation and evidence, mapping knowledge to courses and curriculum End result is at least an outline of portfolio Completed portfolio sent to Subject-Matter Experts for review Courses meet General Education requirements Information Literacy, Communication, Lifelong Learning
7 Office for Assessment of Professional and Workplace Learning Conducts reviews of training, licenses, certificates offered by non-educational organizations Business, non-profits, government, military, trade unions Similar to ACE and NCCRS but different goals: Creating partnerships as pathways to enrollment Focus on local workforce development Reviews are tied to our curriculum Some TESC degree programs require OAPWLreviewed training and/or licenses Working with other like-minded colleges to share reviews and resources
8 Integration of PLA Services Each subject or expertise must be evaluated in the most effective way (for students, discipline, and the College) Some training not suited to program review: portfolio offered as alternative Certain subjects (e.g., quantitative) not suited to portfolio: TECEP exams in place for 29 courses Most important: emphasis on learning outcomes equivalency across all College offerings Competency-based approach helps connect these offerings
9 NJ PLAN New Jersey s Statewide PLA Network Thomas Edison State College at center of PLA network Provides PLA services (portfolio, testing, program evaluation) to state colleges and others Saves other institutions administrative costs and infrastructure
10 What s Needed for an Effective Program PLA advising: Good intake advising Where have you been? Where are you headed? What is your situation now? Clear, transparent policies The basis on which you ll be assessed Where the credit will be applied What are the options for earning credit? Good marketing and communications
11 How to talk about PLA PLA credit for what you already know What PLA is not: Credit for Experience A Cheap and Easy Way to get a Degree What it is: Validation of what students learn on their own A link between higher ed and the workforce
12 National Institute on the Assessment of Adult Learning Small conference focused on PLA and assessment of nontraditional students: virtual learning, workforce development, learning outcomes, open educational resources.
